While printing to a network shared printer, some documents printed from Windows XP machines cause an additional page to be printed with the following text
However, when printing on Windows 7 machines, there is no such issue. What causes this and how to fix it?

The problem lies in the usage of PCL6 drivers. It is likely that Windows XP does not support the drivers perfectly and thus causes errors (Illegal Media Source means that it tries to fetch paper from a tray that doesn’t exist). PCL5e has been around for longer and doesn’t have such issues.
Bottom line: use PCL5e over PCL6 if you encounter problems.
It could well be drivers, however most posts I’ve seen suggested you shut-down your printer and cold start it up (remove AC power) This worked for me.
In the Printing Preferences (go to Control Panel, Devices and Printer, right click), select the Paper/Quality tab, and change the "Source is" to "Printer Auto Select".

Всем привет! Хочу поделиться маленькой заметкой о том, как решить проблему когда при печати pdf файлай на отпечатанном листке заместо нужной информации распечатывается ошибка
данная ошибка лечится тремя способами:
- обновить драйвера на принтере (допустим поставить с PCL6)
- обновить Ваш PDF клиент (в моем случае я использую Adobe Reader) до последней версии
- и самый быстрый способ распечатать pdf файл как изображение.
1 Вариант
Данный способ нет смысла описывать, нужно просто зайти на официальный сайт производителя Вашего принтера, найти в списке устройств вашу модель и скачать драйвера.
2 Вариант
Если Вы используете для просмотра pdf как и я программу pdf reader — то для обновления зайдите на официальный сайт Adobe http://www.adobe.com/ru/ скачайте и установите программу.
3 Вариант
Это самый лучший по моему мнению способ! Чтобы распечатать pdf файл как изображение необходим:
- нажать меню Файл
- печать
- выбрать меню Дополнительно
- отметить галкой пункт «Печать как изображение«
- Все )
- Единственный минус этого варианта, это небольшая потеря качества при печати, но я думаю если нужно быстро распечатать документ, этот способ спасет Ваши нервы!

Some people have issues with the PCL6 driver this causes pcl xl error like this to print. Change your driver from the PCL6 driver to the PCL5 driver. If you don’t have the software you can down load it from HP at: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

I would advise trying to use the PCL 5 Driver — I presume that at the moment you are probably using the PCL 6 driver.
If you need any further infor please post back with a little bit more info!

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND IN SUCH CASES 🙂 Excuse Caps. Your Drivers need updating, but you are seriously hampered because all support for XP ended ages ago. Why are you still running Windows XP leaving your computers open to security breaches? You should be on Windows 8 Pro at the least or Windows 10. What I would do is go to the HP Website and download and install the drivers and software again.

My hp color laserjet cp2025 has the pcl xl error subsystem: Kernel error: Illelgaloperatorsequence operator beginpage position: 14 What can I do to fix this?
A Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printing language, PCL 6 is optimized for printing from graphical user interfaces (GUIs) like Microsoft Windows.
The Enhanced PCL XL, or PCL 6, driver that is included with the HP LaserJet printers provides enhanced WYSIWYG and enhanced performance with application support over the Standard (PCL5e) driver. PCL XL is a new page description language by HP, that is part of PCL 6 and is closer to GDI, which many applications use. Less translation takes place by the driver, which means increased WYSIWYG capabilities, and better performance with applications that support escapes implemented by the Enhanced driver.
While printing using the PCL 6 driver it is possible to encounter a PCL XL error . This error will print out at the LaserJet device, and will look like something similar to the following:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error : IllegalOperatorSequence
Operator: EndSession
Position: 15
These type of errors can be PCL interpreter errors, firmware related, tied to communication, driver, driver dependency, and application specific. Additional troubleshooting will be required to further isolate to root cause.
I. Verify printer functionality
To verify printer functionality, perform the following:
1.Power the printer Off.
2.Disconnect the parallel, USB, or network cable.
3.Power the printer On.
4.Once the printer display reports Ready, verify device functionality by printing a Configuration Page from the device.
Note: should the internal printer test not print as expected, and/or a PCL XL error occur, you have then isolated the issue to the printer device, and any network connectivity or driver / application troubleshooting can be ruled out.
II. Verify communication w/ the device
To verify communication with the device, perform the following:
1.Power the printer Off
2.Reconnect any communication device cable previously removed
3.Power the printer On
4.Once the printer display reports Ready, perform the following:
a.From the client machine or print server that had previously encountered the PCL XL error open the Printers and Faxes folder.
b.Right click the PCL 6 driver in question and select Properties.
c.From the General Tab select Print Test Page
d.Verify the driver test page successfully printed
Should the test page successfully print, continue with the next troubleshooting section entitled Isolate user, application and/or file.
Should the PCL XL error manifest itself as a result of the driver test page, perform the following:
1.At the print server, or client machine, open the Printers and Faxes folder
2.Click on Add Printer
3.Go through the Window’s driver install process installing the appropriate PCL 6 driver for the device in question, with the following characteristics: printing directly to the device (IP_Address, USB, Parallel, etc), creating a new print queue, selecting to Replace Existing Driver.
4.If the issue persists see section entitled: Microsoft Unidrv driver dependencies.
Note: If using an HP LaserJet PCL 6 device specific driver (discrete), try installing the latest HP Universal Print Driver PCL 6. Available at the hp.com website under support & drivers. Select product cb534a and also select your operating system, download a universal print driver Post Script would be the best selection.
You can also adjust a few settings under printing preferences:
under the advanced tab:
Raster compression:
Set it to max
III. Isolate user, application and/or file
If in fact the printers internal test pages and driver test page have printed successfully, further fault isolation must be performed to correlate the PCL XL error with a specific user, application, and or file. This information is most often easily gathered by speaking with the customer, investigating which user is printing when the PCL XL error manifests itself. Once the user is identified, the application the client was printing from can be isolated, and quite possibly the application file itself.
If an application file consistently causes a PCL XL error when sent to the device, it could be a problem only with the file.
IV. Microsoft Unidrv driver dependencies
